Bucs Gameday Thread...

[Se7en]

Which players are you guys going to be keeping an eye on and who else is excited to see some of our fringe players blow up the Buds tonight?

I am looking forward to getting a solid look at Busing and the rest of our secondary players. I would love to check out Cushing and see him get some play time prior to the season opener if that is an option.

On the other side of the ball I cannot wait to see Foster get some carries. Maybe Rex will burst on the scene and look good for a change too!

[TheGoaT]

Barwin and Casey will be the main ones I look for. Probably also Foster and Molden.

We have a young secondary that could grow together to become a solid unit WITHOUT Dunta. I am really excited about all the pieces we have brought in and I hope Bush is the glue that brings all those pieces together.

True, but i really hope they aren't forced to do anything without Dunta. I'm going to be very relieved if/when he shows up next week!

[twinsfan]

Barwin, Casey and Busing.... I hope BC enjoys the game from the sidelines in street clothes.

[outofhnd]

Im hoping Molden gets some serious minutes at Corner

[edo783]

Im hoping Molden gets some serious minutes at Corner

That will be very important for our season IMO.

[TheLBCoach]

Arian Foster and Antoine Caldwell, most definitely!

[lonestarpigskin]

For me definitely Arian Foster and Molden. Molden has been praised for his ability and size for a year now, and he didn't look half bad last week. I'm hoping he can become a decent starting defensive back.

I saw hustle in Foster last week, so I want to see what he can do with a bulk of carries to see if he can maintain his strengthen when hitting the hole. It's almost 99.9% that Chris Brown will go down, so I'd like to see if Foster can be that hungry deep bench player in case the RB corp gets banged up.

[Se7en]

Dunta will be there "in body" on Monday, but his soul seems to be missing.

Fosters MASSIVE block in the backfield against the vikings will help him earn a spot on this team. He looks to have solid vision and a good football IQ.

I am not sure he will pass Moats on depth and I am not sure he will make it to the practice squad either. Of course we also have not seen what kind of talent the other teams have released yet that we might rather pick up.

Game also sounds like it's on SR610 (At least online). I'm surprised it's not blacked out on there.

Kalu is sitting in for Andre Ware. :)

[Coog]

They probably wont until closer to gametime.

[zanth91]

They're about to kick off and it hasn't. They would always close it before the turn of the hour.

Fumbled by Hill, next play Brice Mccain intercepts and fumbles it back on the return

I cant believe there isnt a feed for this game.

[sandman23]

We are on pace for 120 turnovers this game. That's pretty impressive....

They just switched it so nvm.

[TheGoaT]

WTF, why would they broadcast the game, then switch off of it?

[dattexboy]

can't broadcast online due to NFL rules

[dattexboy]

I think it replays on NFL Network sometime next week...Tues or Wednesday I think...

[TheGoaT]

can't broadcast online due to NFL rules

every game has been on the internet but this one, and the other games tonight are as well.

[Sportswriter79]

Wow nice stretching catch by Jacoby.

[protoTexans]

nice INT by Brice... caught it like a receiver...

beautiful diving int... Can see why he is on O though, did not protect the ball from hit, tucked his head too early..

[Sportswriter79]

Another pick by Orlovsky.

[Yosarian]

nice play

[Sportswriter79]

BIG REXXY!!!

That is one of the reasons I hope he makes it, it does throw a pretty deep ball. Hit JJ in stride too... Not something you saw a whole lot of in CHi-Town...

His arm and our receivers. Not a bad start.

[theyoungNwild]

Barwin and Okam look to be playing up beat today. I see Barwin in the backfield ALOT today

[Jottoz]

Jottoz..please remove those links!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you ever want to watch in the future

What are you talking about? It's like christmas to watch the beloved Texans

[Yosarian]

Barwin and Casey will be the main ones I look for. Probably also Foster and Molden.

Barwin has looked good so far but Caset is struggling but blocking well.

[Yosarian]

What are you talking about? It's like christmas to watch the beloved Texans

nice play by Moats

[Jay-El The BMTexan]

If they don't keep Foster,I'll be pissed.

[Jottoz]

Im saying keep that private!!!!! Or it will get shut down.

Gotcha....only sharing with the faithful

[Yosarian]

Gotcha....only sharing with the faithful


Much thanks!

[TheGoaT]

jeez Rex hung it up there. Good thing its only backup DBs in there.

[TXNGRL]

nice runs by Foster...looking good.

[Sportswriter79]

Grossman beautiful strike to Casey. TD!

[Yosarian]

Rex has looked stellar so far

[Jay-El The BMTexan]

Rex For #2 Qb.......DanO can't seem to hook up with J Casey. Now look kid gets a td.

[TheGoaT]

Grossman beautiful strike to Casey. TD!

reading this thread and taking the time delay on the feed is such a spoiler for me lol

Yeah another int! Bentley has been great in preseason! Nice depth for us

I have always liked Bentley.

[Yosarian]

lol its all good tho !!!!


Foster now in to get it in the endzone lets see if he can punch it in.

[theyoungNwild]

Arian Foster is making a HUGE impact on making the roster. Reading plays well and being patient in his cuts and moves. He looks like the backup goal line short yard guy to me. Moats needs to play up.

[Coog]

reading this thread and taking the time delay on the feed is such a spoiler for me lol

Right there with ya, TheGoaT, hehe. The guys look like they all want to make the team, everyone is playing good.

[theyoungNwild]

Grossman is only in for 1 quarter and has made more TD passes than DanO has all preaseason. DanO is good, but needs a clean year under Kubiak. Leave Grossman as #2 just for this year

[Yosarian]

fullback didnt get the block on second down that wont happen with Leech in there

[pensacolabucfan]

Grossman is only in for 1 quarter and has made more TD passes than DanO has all preaseason. DanO is good, but needs a clean year under Kubiak. Leave Grossman as #2 just for this yearyou have to remember we are playing our scrubs most wont be a buccaneer tommorrow

[TXNGRL]

I have never been a Rex Grossman fan....but I am starting to believe...let's see if he can keep it up.

[Yosarian]

you have to remember we are playing our scrubs most wont be a buccaneer tommorrow
Us too. We have to cut 22 guys tomorrow.

[TheGoaT]

way to over value one performance. Keep in mind the level of competition he is facing as well. Im not wishing to hire or fire a player over 1 outing.

[Yosarian]

I just hope Rex has a great outing. I think he is better than Dan O and i think he is better than Sage. I do not think Dan is better than Sage. So i think Rex is a qb back up upgrade. If he has a good showing maybe we can keep him. Thats what i am hoping fort. I know Rex can be inconsistant but when he is on he is really on.

[pensacolabucfan]

way to over value one performance. Keep in mind the level of competition he is facing as well. Im not wishing to hire or fire a player over 1 outing.someone with some common sense

[Yosarian]

Busing almost got a pick
------------------------------
Oneal nice play got a hand in there.

[Coog]

even the foxsports.com gamecast is ahead of the stream, hehe.

[theyoungNwild]

woah woah woah. who said I was over-evaluating. I'm just posting facts. DanO is a great QB and I think he will be a great Backup / Starter someday.


However, with the Veteran EXP that Grossman has I think it would be great for our #2. DanO would do well to be in our system and learn from Kubes knowledge.

[Yosarian]

Glover Quinn got burned again.

[Yosarian]

even the foxsports.com gamecast is ahead of the stream, hehe.


I watched teh bengals Colts game and the broadcast was so second rate, they didn't even know when they were back ont he air after commercial....every time. It was pretty bad. Like it was the first time they had covered a football game.

they'd come back from commercials and be practicing putting up their graphics and stuff. It was hilarious.

[TheGoaT]

saying Grossman should be #2 is an opinion, not a fact. What are you basing that on? 2 series in a preseason game? Everyone likes to make fun of Dan for running out of the end zone, lets not forget Sexy Rexy's QB rating of a zero in a game up in Chicago. Personally neither one of them gives me a warm fuzzy as the backup.

[Coog]

This actually a good online stream, its just about 5-10 minutes behind.

[Yosarian]

I agree with the Rex as #2 until i see better decision making by Orlovsky.

But again, just an opinion. I know we paid Dan a lot and therefore he is "supposed" to be our 2

[Sportswriter79]

Personally I would like Grossman at backup because he seems to get the ball out alot faster then Dan plus he does have alot of experience. Dan can still be here learn and get better. Looks too slow right now and we need all the help we can get. Just a simple faster QB helps alot! Plus with very little practice he looks pretty darn good tonight.

This has been my expectation since we signed him. I think that he's a slam dunk for #2 simply because of the talent level which is at least as good as Dan's plus his regular season and playoff experience. If Matt has an injury that takes him out of a game or two then Rex should be able to fill in as our starter without missing a beat once he has a few more weeks with the offense.

[Yosarian]

oh yeah busing td int pick 6 woohoo

[theyoungNwild]

Personally neither one of them gives me a warm fuzzy as the backup.

1. I like Grossman because of the decisions he makes. Off one series? Maybe, sorry if thats all I have to go off of. So far I'm not impressed with DanO but I see him flourishing late. I like Rex, and I never brought up the end zone thing. If anything thats old news to me.

2. Busing > Harrison

[Yosarian]

high scoring game for back ups.

[Jay-El The BMTexan]

Busing knocks the snot out of folk ...I like this guy .

[TheGoaT]

Rex does get it out quicker than Dan. The problem I have with Rex is he tries to throw downfield bombs like every other pass. Thats exactly what got him in trouble in Chicago. I'll like him to learn to read the defense more and find the open man and pick them apart. Not just wait a couple seconds and then throw the bomb. If Matt goes down this year Im gonna have a heart attack, cuz neither of these guys makes me comfortable.

[Yosarian]

nice goal linr stand by the defense and Busing!

[Yosarian]

Busing knocks the snot out of folk ...I like this guy .


100% agree! Busing better make the team.He has been great in every game! And SS is a position we have needed to fill. It woukldn't surprise me if Busing breaks into the starting line up at some point this year!

[TheGoaT]

The other reason is Grossman is cheap and if he is #2 there is no reason for Dan to be here. Safe alot of money.....

He would keep his signing bonus and this years money so its not much of a savings.

[Yosarian]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek::D

[Jay-El The BMTexan]

Spencer Tillman is a douch.

[TheGoaT]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek::D

what is it, the feed hasnt caught up yet lol

[Yosarian]

aNother nice drive by Grossman and team. Martinez looking good. Just don't know how Martinez will break the line up unless we go 3 TE? He is a nice tall reciever and looks good against back ups. could have potential to be sure. Hoping no one picks him up off waivers and we can keep him on the practice squad.

[TheGoaT]

ya I really wish we could keep Martinez.

[TheGoaT]

three-year, $9.15 million contract with a $2.4 million signing bonus

There is some savings there over the 2nd and 3rd year.

Grossman is on a 1 year contract, if you gave him #2, you'd have to extend him for more money, so there goes the savings.

[TheGoaT]

Connor Barwin has got to be the steal of the draft so far. Hes been impressive every single game. I cant wait to see what he can do in the real games.

[Yosarian]

Connor Barwin has got to be the steal of the draft so far. Hes been impressive every single game. I cant wait to see what he can do in the real games.
Me too! He has what????4 sacks already?

[Yosarian]

Busing again This guy makes the team! Nice fumble recovery

[TheGoaT]

You dont extend him crap, we took him off the not wanted by anyone list. He maynot even see the field this year as a #2 so why pay him more?

you need to read the post I was replying to in order to understand. If you claim you save money in year 2 and 3 by cutting Dan, then you have to resign Rex as hes only on a 1 year deal. When you resign him and hes a #2, you have to pay him more.

[VBot]

Heaven forbid Schaub goes down, but if he does, is Rex the new QB? I don't mean the backup either.

[crunchyfrogs]

He continues to impress me. The only negative I see is that he's so aggressive trying to get to the QB, he'll sometime leave his outside coverage and allow the QB to scramble that direction for big gains. It happened several times tonight. He just needs a little maturity and controlled agressiveness.

[Coog]

woohoo, the stream passed foxsports.com gamecast, i think we're speeding up.

[VBot]

So, who is shining tonight? Barwing, Busing, Both?

[Coog]

both

[Yosarian]

Agreed. Our whole team (including Mario) has containment issues at times.

But Barwin has done more than i thought he could at his size. His speed is really evening the playing field and he has got some sacks against #1's and #2's so itt's not all against scrubs.

[Yosarian]

Theres that naked boot play that hasn't worked all preseason It has been a disaster 3 times in a row that we have run it..

[TheGoaT]

Heaven forbid Schaub goes down, but if he does, is Rex the new QB? I don't mean the backup either.

Like I said before based on what, a few series in a preseason game? Only way Rex gets a chance is if Matt gets hurt and Dan has a few very poor games in a row.

[TheGoaT]

Theres that naked boot play that hasn't worked all preseason It has been a disaster 3 times in a row that we have run it..

I really hate that play.

[Coog]

We are going to be cutting alot of pretty decent players tomorrow! Nice change from years past.

no kidding.

[Yosarian]

I really hate that play.
Sage was the only guy (other than Carr) who could pull off that fake and have success with it. I wish we would just dump it from the playbook or block the outside DE or it wont ever work. Teams have seen us use that play too much in the past.

[crunchyfrogs]

The over-aggressiveness of the young players has left us vulnerable to the screen. It happened a few times earlier in the game.

I've also been impressed with Casey. He catches everything thrown his direction and his blocking ain't bad either. It's going to be a tough choice for Kubs whether to let Jacoby or Martinez go. I really like the way Martinez has been playing and I hope they both can stick. But if it comes down to one, I'd take Martinez.

[TheGoaT]

Bootlegs on 4th downs are just stupid. I mean they had guys stacked on the line, why would you not check off that play?

[VBot]

Like I said before based on what, a few series in a preseason game? Only way Rex gets a chance is if Matt gets hurt and Dan has a few very poor games in a row.

He does have a lot more experience than Dan O. And in a system like ours, he could be pretty good. Weapons like Andre, Steve, Kevin, Owen, etc. Who did he have in Chicago? Hester? A special teams guy turned wide out.

sadly they'll keep JJ. #5 WR isnt going to get many routes anyway and JJ returns punts while Glen doesnt, so he will get the nod.

[TransplantTexan1]

I really wish we'd put that on hibernation for a while, especially on third and fourth down plays.

[Yosarian]

Bootlegs on 4th downs are just stupid. I mean they had guys stacked on the line, why would you not check off that play?
Yup. Remember thta it took Kubiak 2 years to use the quarterback sneak on 4th and one. That is the proven play on 4th and 1.

[TransplantTexan1]

I think Jacoby Jones really wants to stay on this team.

[Coog]

Yup. Remember thta it took Kubiak 2 years to use the quarterback sneak on 4th and one. That is the proven play on 4th and 1.

Yeah, but they never run the QB sneak in preseason. They try different thing just to see how they work.

[TheGoaT]

He does have a lot more experience than Dan O. And in a system like ours, he could be pretty good. Weapons like Andre, Steve, Kevin, Owen, etc. Who did he have in Chicago? Hester? A special teams guy turned wide out.

he has more experience, but also alot of very very poor performances that his defense bailed him out of. I'd like to see him read and throw and get away from tossing bombs. He has a strong arm, but hes got a Favre like mentality when hes under pressure, he just tosses it down field.

[Yosarian]

Yeah, but they never run the QB sneak in preseason. They try different thing just to see how they work.
True.

[Yosarian]

he has more experience, but also alot of very very poor performances that his defense bailed him out of. I'd like to see him read and throw and get away from tossing bombs. He has a strong arm, but hes got a Favre like mentality when hes under pressure, he just tosses it down field. He has bewen very disciplined tonight throwing it away when nothing is there.

[Coog]

they dont even try the dive play much either. Just exotic plays to see what fools the D.

[Yosarian]

Nice catch byt he bucs guy. He knew he was gonna get clobbered. Nice concentration.

[TheGoaT]

Is it just me or has Hill looked like crap all night?

Hasn't looked as good as you would want that is for sure.

[Yosarian]

Is it just me or has Hill looked like crap all night?

Rookie jitters. But yeah i agree, he has been sputtering.

[TransplantTexan1]

Deltha O'Neal looks five years older than he already is out there.

[edo783]

Overtime??? Preseason?? Could be.

[TheLBCoach]

How bad has the defense looked this drive? Bucs just marching right down the field at their own leisure.

I'm seeing some similiarities between Bush and Richard Smith that I don't like one bit.

Also, we bite on every kind of play action known to man. That's sad.

[Yosarian]

And Harrisson has looked like he needs to go since day one.

[Coog]

they play OT in preseason?

Seriously, think about it before tearing up. Its a bunch of 3rd stringers, do you honestly think Frank Bush is calling anything but base setups?

[edo783]

That's game.

[Yosarian]

Great pressure by the defense when the chips were down. Thats what i call a PUSH! Both on 3rd and 4th downs.

[theyoungNwild]

holy dear lord god almight I hate these announcers.

[Coog]

nice goal line D and pressure

Yeah, I love the Bush's play calling. he sent everyone and the kitchen sink.

[TheLBCoach]

Seriously, think about it before tearing up. Its a bunch of 3rd stringers, do you honestly think Frank Bush is calling anything but base setups?

3rd stringers or not, they should look better than that. Especially against other 3rd teamers.

We got the win and stood up at the end, but I'd like to see some tighter defense throughout. Not complaining though. Good win.

[TransplantTexan1]

Very encouraged by what I saw out of Frank tonight. Some missed tackles but lots of penetration, and even still he had some key tackles, including the final one.

[Yosarian]

Yeah, I love the Bush's play calling. he sent everyone and the kitchen sink.
And they got there. That was fast! They were in the backfield before the qb knew what to do.

[TheGoaT]

3rd stringers or not, they should look better than that. Especially against other 3rd teamers.

We got the win and stood up at the end, but I'd like to see some tighter defense throughout. Not complaining though. Good win.

Im only talking about the play calling. Bush isnt going to do anything fancy with that group.

[Sportswriter79]

The other reason is Grossman is cheap and if he is #2 there is no reason for Dan to be here. Safe alot of money.....

Kubiak has figured out that if he's going to start Matt, he needs 3 quality QBs on the roster, because each of the past two years he's had to start Sage and bring up Craig Nall or Alex Brink for insurance.

The coaches think they have a playoff team this year and they don't want to be one QB short of getting the rest of the team there.

[Yosarian]

Very encouraged by what I saw out of Frank tonight. Some missed tackles but lots of penetration, and even still he had some key tackles, including the final one. Agreed. All the DT's stepped up!

Over all this was a very encouraging game. The Bucs are a good team and they should have looked better for backups. Our guys were playing much better than teh Saints game. They have improved a lot since then. Each game they have looked better.

I just love Busing! That guy is fun to watch. Great smart player/footballer. Gamey guy!
Game balls-Busing and Grossman.

Agree 100%.

[VBot]

Rex Grossman should be the #2 QB, period, end of debate....Not even a debate.....

I second that, sure he's had ups & downs, but who hasn't.
